Typhoon Haima Displaces Tens of Thousands in Philippines: Super Typhoon Haima made landfall on the Philippines’ Luzon Island as a Category 4 storm, just days after Typhoon Sarika dumped 20 inches of rain on the island. Nearly 100,000 people have been evacuated with at least seven reported deaths. There’s been major flooding, landslides and significant damage to infrastructure. The storm, known locally as Lawin, is the strongest since Super Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 that killed more than 6,000 people. Theintensity of landfalling typhoons in the northwest Pacific has increased markedly since the 1970s.
